These delicious Pumpkin Bars are my favorite Thanksgiving dessert. There are three layers of scrumptious that start with a buttery yellow cake crust, then a filling of sweet pumpkin-pie-ish deliciousness, topped off with a yellow cake crumble.

Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with Non-Stick Baking Spray (as needed). Set aside.
2.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Yellow Cake Mix (1 box), Eggland's Best Classic Egg (1), and Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup) for the crust. Set 1 cup aside.
3.
Use a large spoon to spread the crust into the bottom of the baking pan or press it evenly with your fingers.
4.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Canned Pumpkin Pie Mix (3 cups), Eggland's Best Classic Eggs (2), and Milk (2/3 cup) for the filling.
5.
Pour filling over crust and spread out evenly.
6.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of reserved cake mix, Granulated Sugar (4 Tbsp), Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1 tsp), and Unsalted Butter (4 Tbsp). Sprinkle evenly over the filling.
7.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
8.
Allow the dessert to cool for about around 20 minutes, and then store in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving. Bars will be tasty at room temperature, but are best served COLD.
9.
Serve with some type of Whipped Topping (to taste).
Author's Notes
Yields around 20 bars.
For best results, chill for 2-3 hours before serving, but they are also good at room temperature.
FOR GLUTEN-FREE: choose a gluten-free boxed cake mix.
FOR DAIRY FREE: use a vegan butter, such as Earth Balance. Also, use nondairy milk, such as almond milk.
